Hello!

I need some help because I am stuck with a task. I need make a report of jobruns, how they are scheduled, daily weekly or monthly maybe..
It is a so called produktion rewiew. Unfortunately the scheduling tool I use provides me a false outcome when I want to create report like this, it gets lost with the dependcies and triggers...
Is there any possibilty to create such rewiew about the members of a pds?

Which scheduler? Which job archiving product?

The Scheduler is a company specific software, not available anywhere else. But as I mentioned above, the tool in this software dedicated for this task gives false information(had to realize that after 3 days of testing). This is why I am looking for a built in solution. The job archiving product belongs to the scheduler. I guess I have the ansver now, since I can gain information only from the scheduler I can not make reports based on for example sdsf. Or am I wrong? Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately, as you will comprehend, sysouts are unlikely to persist on the spool or in your RYO archive long enough to provide a valid picture of your schedule. Moreover, it is also unlikely that looking at the sysouts will reveal the dependencies between jobs (my shop's proprietary scheduler -- which only runs on our development sysplex; we use Control-M in production -- uses JES3 DJC for this purpose, but is unusual in doing so).

I recommend that you find the person(s) responsible for maintaining the scheduler code, and use whatever combination of carrots and sticks are available to you to have the reporting function fixed.

Thank you! I will try to contact with the developers.
